Given that so many posters said what an interesting and enlightening thread this ended up turning into, with some really key issues discussed and some strong points made by lots of posters (I particularly welcomed Barracker's refresh regarding the importance of language), it seems a shame if it drops down the list due to being full and people miss out on reading it (what with it being summer holidays and all).

Yes it was a great thread - I learned a lot. Is my understanding correct that:

  1. Women exist as a sex class; and
  2. Women and girls need sex-based protections.

Thanks Pom there’s definitely some bits of that thread I need to re-read to fully ‘get’.

The deeper analysis of the what’s and why fors is really interesting.
